DALLAS — Dallas Stars prospect Scott Winkler has died in his home country of Norway after recently completing his senior season at Colorado College. He was 23.

School officials said in a news release that Winkler died unexpectedly Wednesday at his parents’ home. The native of Asker, Norway, was a third-round pick by the Stars in 2008.

“Everyone loved him and respected him,” 2012-13 captain William Rapuzzi said. “He was a brother to all of us. It just doesn’t make sense.”

Winkler finished with 63 points (24 goals) in 120 career games during his four-year stint at Colorado College, including a career-high 28 points (13 goals) as a senior during the 2012-13 season. He was a third-round selection (89th overall) of the Stars in the 2008 NHL draft.

“He had such a bright future ahead of him,” Tigers athletic director Ken Ralph said. “I’d like to ask all Colorado College fans and supporters of college hockey everywhere to keep the Winkler family in your thoughts and prayers.”

The school said Winkler graduated from Colorado College on May 20 with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

Winkler came to the U.S. in 2007 and played for Cedar Rapids in the United States Hockey League the year he was drafted by Dallas.
